Basic Burger Recipe (WFMW)

2012-04-25_Hamburgers-250px

Grilling season is here again! The weather here turned warm a month or two early this year, so my hubby and I have already been grilling quite a bit.  We grill just about everything, from chicken and steak to veggies and pizza.  But, my favorite meal on the grill is burgers. There are so many…

Artichoke and Sundried Tomato Hummus

2012-04-23_ArtichokeTomatoHummus-250px

I get a lot of inspiration for recipes from dishes I order at restaurants. A lot of times, I struggle to come up with a version that lives up to the great restaurant dish I enjoyed. But, then there are other times when I actually think that my version is the better one. About a year…

Friday Favorites – Simple Bites Edition (Episode 130)

You may have noticed that I’ve dropped the ball on Friday Favorites for the last few weeks…  I have been pretty busy and it just slipped my mind.  Imagine that! But, this week, I am happy to say that the Friday Favorites are back with a fresh set of picks from the lovely Aimée from…

Baking Essentials – Chocolate Chip Cookies (WFMW)

2012-04-18_ChocolateChipCookies-250px

Almost every time I ask my husband what kind of cookies he would like me to bake, he says “chocolate chip.” A lot of times, I think I give him somewhat of a frustrated and annoyed look (sorry, hon!). It’s not that I don’t love chocolate chip cookies, it’s just that I always feel like they…

Sourdough English Muffins

It’s been a a few months since I first shared a tutorial on how to make your own sourdough starter.  Have you tried it yet? If not, I highly recommend you go get a batch started… Right now! Everyone thinks of chewy San Francisco sourdough bread when they think of sourdough starter… And it’s great…

Pumpkin, Peanut Butter, and Bacon Dog Biscuits

It’s been a while since my sous chef shared a recipe.  She represents one third of the My Kitchen Addiction family (and sometimes it seems like more!), but she doesn’t get the representation she deserves here on the site.  Granted, you’d probably get sick of reading about the all-natural sweet potato and trout dog food…

That Works For Me … The Book!

2012-04-10_ThatWorksForMe-Featured

Today I’m doing something a little different… I’m not sharing a recipe or a kitchen tip, but I think you’ll want to stick around anyway.  I’ve got an e-book that you won’t want to miss… And, if you stick around a bit longer, I’m even giving one away! Works for Me Wednesday If you’re a…

Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns

With all of the warm weather we’ve had here lately, I think grilling season is officially here.  It arrived a bit earlier than usual this year, but I’m not really complaining (though, I’m not entirely sure I’ve ruled out an April blizzard, either). I can come up with endless possibilities for grilling, but one of…

Butterscotch Walnut Blondies

2012-04-05_ButterscotchBlondies-250px

Sometimes I get lost in cookbooks.  I know that I want to bake something, and instead of actually getting much baking done, I spend half of an afternoon paging through cookbooks just trying to decide what to bake. If I only had one or two cookbooks, it might not be too much of a problem….

Cucumber Bean Salsa

I love the spring… But, I also find it can be a difficult time of year to cook.  You see, by this time of the year, the weather is turning warm, and I am starting to crave lots of fresh fruits and veggies. The problem is that none of those fruits and veggies that I so…
